I am not ok right now. Rewriting Grey was a roller coaster of questions and emotions…. I loved every twist and turn. Quinn (FMC) had to close out the estate for a sister that she didn’t even know existed. She got a flat on a deserted road only to be helped by Iverson (MMC) and his sister Eloise. Talk about a super interesting meet cute. Now the twists and turns that both Quinn and Iverson go through in the book had me an emotional mess. My favorite spicy scenes are when they act out parts from the book Quinn found in her sister’s place, HOT!! There are so many details I want to talk about but that would ruin the twists, so I’ll leave it for you to discover yourself. This was such a great ride from start to finish. I can’t wait to see happens next in The Copper Falls series.

What can I say, besides I loved every second of The Renegade Billionaire. Madison and Braxton are the most adorable couple that’s I’ve read in a long time. From the beginning I loved that when Ace (grandpa) passed he gave everyone in the Reyes family a task to carry out for 6 months before they would get their inheritance, and all the tasks were helping others. Braxton was told to go to Happiness, Georgia to rebuild the town. Madi ran the Inn and The Chugaloo in Happiness and also had her own podcast. Brax helped run his grandfather’s company with his friend Grey but has always loved to help others so helping in Happiness was as easy as breathing. My favorite part  was the found family for Braxton, Grey and Sage; Madi and Pops brought them in to the fold and everyone knows you don’t mess with anyone in a small town. There was a little of everything in this amazing book, so if you love small town romance you will fall in love with everyone in Happiness.

The audio book for Devils Thirst was amazing, Brooke Daniels and Peter Alden were the perfect pair to play Amelie and Sante. Sante was the a top tier obsessed MMC, and I loved all the things he did to put himself back in her life. Amelie was such a sweet soul that lived through horrific trauma at the hands of her mother. Little did Amelie know that a chance encounter four years earlier would change her life in ways she couldn’t imagine. Who’s the stalker? Why has he been watching her? And who is this super hot new neighbor? The whole book was amazing, I love any book where the men will do anything to keep their women safe, and Sante delivers. The narrators really added that extra something and brought the story to life.

I’m a lucky duck that I got to BETA read Dangerous Allure and now read the finished product. Ashlynn is an amazing author that push’s the limits of what’s hot and what’s insane. And I find myself loving the insane because 5 men!!! I can barely handle the one I have let along 4 more. But these guys oh my gosh all of them were finger licking good and kinda crazy which I love. And Presley, oh my gosh my girl. She lives through so much F-ing pain but was still such a fighter. Ive also never felt so much hate for a character as I did Jacob, he was the absolute scum of the damn earth. It’s so hard not to give away the whole book with details of why and how but I’ll refrain. But check the trigger warning thoroughly, because there are many. And also be prepared for one hell of a cliffhanger. 

I’ve not read a single book that Ashlynn has written that isn’t 5-stars, and I doubt I ever will.

This was the most fun and oh so spicy look at what the life of a paparazzi and the stars they follow. Stella is our absolute bad ass of a FMC, she a pap and only does it to care for her father. And most importantly she drive a 1957 Chevy convertible, come on, that’s fire. We have 3 very hot MMC’s, Gemini/Gem stuntman, body double & twin ), Seven/Sev (Hollywood actor &twin) and Oliver/Ollie (Hollywood actor).  Now this book had me in its clutches and fully in love with Gem and his golden retriever vibe. But then Ollie was a huge flirt and a bit of a Dom about Stella taking care of herself. And Sev or Demon Spawn as Stella called him was just a huge A-hole almost the whole time. These three men were little smitten kittens over Stella and her no nonsense ways and I was here for it. The story was such an interesting look behind the scenes of what life is like for a celebrity and for  the paparazzi. I’m a huge fan of why choose and Tate James and Heather Long delivered an amazingly spicy read that kept me guessing.

Could I have loved For Ever more than I did? Absolutely not, everything was perfection. As a Latina I love reading books with FMC’s and families like mine. Juliet is strong, proud and oh so fiery, i would expect nothing less from a gorgeous Columbian queen. Graham is a rich, pompous, well dressed  pinchao (pretty boy).  For ever has it all, its enemies to lovers, forbidden, he falls first and the banter is spectacular. Graham and Juliet love to fight and the passion is red hot and so is the spice! HOT!! This was such a touching story about doing the right thing even if it puts you at risk, because isn’t love worth it. The whole book I was rooting for both of them to open their hearts, if/when they did I knew I would be a mess. And I was right!  5 stars. 10 stars! All the stars!!!!!!! 

Misfire by Rachel Robinson, Rachel Robinson

adventurous challenging dark medium-paced

4.0

Wow Misfire was so much more than I expected and the tropes are this mafia loving girl’s favorite. We have two very hot and powerful mafia men ( Jesse and Riley) and one broken hooker ( Destiny/ Drew). Now I’ve read a lot of books and Misfire had a plot that I haven’t read before and I loved it. I really loved all the side characters, especially Callie and Chaz, they stood out for me. Even though the men are mafia Jesse is definitely the darkness while Riley is the light. Drew who grew up not knowing love and kindness got it in spades from Riley. Watching the struggle both men had with sharing Drew was so tough but she ended up with exactly who she was ment to be. And all those curve balls, Misfire left me never knowing what would happen next.

Fake dating is one of my very favorite tropes and Your Rule To Break nailed it. Zack and Emilie were both so freaking lovable and had a spark from the very beginning. Emilie’s family is the worst, it’s a wonder such a warm, kind person came from a family like that. And Zack, he was raised in a loving home with supportive parents, so he’s pretty much a golden retriever with a naughty past. The way Zack swooped in and started the whole fake dating was so hot. These two had a shared love for fashion and food, come on that’s adorable. There’s also mental health rep which I appreciate, we don’t see enough in book. Did I mention he’s a football player? Because he is! Now picture him in that uniform….yummy.  I really enjoyed Your Rule To Break, it was fun but had a great soul to it.

Oh my gosh, the Duet Audio of The Unplanned Wedding was delectable. Shane East is one is my favorite male narrators and he nailed Knox’s beast so well (swoon). And Evelyn Rose was the perfect sweet yet sassy June.  The Unplanned Wedding had me so invested from the first spank, yup you read that right. The curvy FMC June is an absolute gem of a character, she finds out she only likes being told what to do by her grumpy boss Knox. These two had such hot chemistry -  watching Knox fight it and June egging him on was so fun.  Grandpa is at it again wanting his grandsons to be married to inherit money and for Knox money and a home. He thought letting his grandfather arrange his marriage would force him to end his obsession with June….but he couldn’t do it. He knew if he HAD to marry it had to be her. But will what Knox offers June be enough? You’ll have to read/listen to find out.

Oh my gosh Hero was an amazingly emotional book. I must have cried 5 times while tearing through this book. Each cry was for a different reason, sadness, fear, loss, hope, and happiness. I felt every single emotion and when I finished I just sat there processing this amazing story of Lydia and Colby. Lydia has lived through every first responders worst fear but pushed forward because she was a mom. When Lydia met Colby (firefighter ) he was in the hospital after running in to a burning building to find a little girl. The chemistry that Lauren Blakey weaved in this book was magical. Watching them both heal mind and body and coming together as a family had me a crying mess. The narrators John Lane and Lily Reynolds captured every emotion so perfectly. I know a mix of the story and their performance is why I was so emotional. Lauren Rowe sure knows how to write in a way that just speaks to your soul.
